EcoVision: AI-Powered Environmental Sustainability

Update: Hackathon Success!

We are thrilled to announce that EcoVision was one of the winning projects at the Launchology AI for Hackathon 2024! 🌍🏆

Project Overview

EcoVision is an AI-powered application designed to combat littering and promote sustainable waste disposal. Created during the Launchology AI for Hackathon 2024, EcoVision empowers users to take action against environmental degradation by providing them with the tools and knowledge needed to make a positive impact on the planet.

Problem Statement

Environmental degradation, particularly littering and improper waste disposal, poses a significant threat to both urban and natural ecosystems. According to the World Bank, global waste generation is projected to increase by 70% from 2016 levels to 3.40 billion metric tons by 2050 if current practices continue. This not only strains landfill capacities but also increases pollution, harms wildlife, and contributes to climate change. The urgency for innovative solutions to manage waste more effectively and promote environmental sustainability has never been greater.

How EcoVision Tackles the Problem

EcoVision is equipped with several powerful features aimed at addressing the environmental challenges we face today:

1. AI-Driven Waste Identification: Users can take pictures of litter, and our AI system, built using the Tensor ML model, accurately identifies and categorizes the waste, providing proper disposal instructions.
2. Community Engagement Tools: EcoVision enables users to organize and participate in local cleanup events, fostering a strong sense of community and collective action.
3. Educational Resources: The app offers educational videos and articles on the impacts of deforestation and sustainable practices, empowering users with the knowledge to make environmentally friendly choices.

Future Plans

We are committed to enhancing EcoVision and expanding its impact:

• Enhanced AI Capabilities: Continuously improving the AI algorithms for more accurate waste identification and categorization.
• Partnerships: Collaborating with local government agencies, NGOs, and educational institutions to broaden the app's reach and effectiveness.
